Re: [evince] possible wrong error by evince

["jose aliste gmail com" <jose aliste gmail com>]

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. This error is on the parse of the metadata. I have no time right now to look in deep at it, will try to do next week,  but the description you give is  wrong to my eyes, so another thing must be happening. I'll try to explain. One thing is that the character "ä" is U+00e4, and another thing is how to code this character in UTF-8, where you need two bytes, and the code is c3 a4, so if lilypond are trying to code "ä" as a e4, this is not a valid UTF-8 code!

 But I doubt that this is really the reason, but as I said, will look through next week.  

Please note that the code that throws the error is the libxml parser, which usually is very strict about encodings and things like that. 

Greetings, 

José

Dear evince developpers,

The attached pdf triggers an error while opened with evince 3.4.0
(poppler/cairo 0.18.4) on fedora 17:
Entity: line 10: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xE4 0x3C 0x2F 0x72

The pdf was created with lilypond 2.16.0 (music typesetting tool) on
fedora 17. According to the developpers of lilypond, the "ä" character
that triggers the error is well encoded and the error should not be
reported by evince:
00004830  74 3e 3c 2f 64 63 3a 74  69 74 6c 65 3e 3c 64 63  |t></dc:title><dc|

On this last line, we can see that the code of the "ä" is e4 which is
the right unicode code.
Other readers like xpdf, okular and pdfinfo do not report any error.
Here is the issue link at lilypond:
